Members johnrambo Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 my headrush e2 came into today and i just got a chance to play around with it and i'm loving it. i find it much easier to get a seamless loop with it than with the sos function on the dd-20. the sound quality is very good (even on the extended time setting) and there is no added noise that i can tell. i love being able to add layer upon layer and then knock it back down to the original part and start over. why didn't i get this earlier?

Members beardcom Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 {censored}. i think i want one of those instead of my rc20xl. maybe i swear too much on this forum. impossible, and yes you do somebody tell me more about the rc-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members erksin Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 impossible, and yes you dosomebody tell me more about the rc-2. The E2 is intriguing to me, but I think I'm sold on the RC-2 since it has drum patterns built in. I think the sound quality is prolly a little better on the E2, but this is just a practice tool for me - not for live use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jbrazz Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 how are the delays on the E2 or is it worth the price just for the looper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mumford Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 Lately I've been interested in the 16 sec delay or 2880. I love the 'snap to bar lines' feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnrambo Posted March 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 how are the delays on the E2or is it worth the price just for the looper? i'll give it a better run thru tomorrow and check out the delay settings. i'm really only interested in it as a looper though. i'll keep a separate delay in front of it.

You might want to look at RiffBox if you want to 'snap' to the notes that you play instead of trying to time your playing to a click track.

But keep your RC if you like to save your loops. That's why I have a Headrush AND an RC50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like that when I first got mine, but I have to say that the delays would be the features I use most, especially the tape delay setting. The loop part of it is still good fun when I'm in the mood for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delays are indeed good. The digital delay is awesome for tapping in a really long loop and setting the feedback so that each delay hangs around for a while but slowly fades out. You can really create some amazing textures with it, especially if you have another delay before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tenine Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 I use Ableton But I will never use a laptop live if I have a choice.I'm also interested in the RC-2.It's nice and compact, I can use it for live looping or take some stuff to a show (My music is just me - a one man operation).The lack of reverse doesn't bother me, I think I'd end up over-using it anyway.I can always use a pre-amp with a mic so I can loop vocals too.

Members mumford Posted March 8, 2007 Members Share Posted March 8, 2007 This thread reminds me how badly I need to get my echoplex repaired. I got one of mine fixed by Fuzzorama a couple of years back. Expensive ($300) but I got the whole workover, and it sounds better than it ever did. Now I'm too scared to use it live for fear it'll get stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a stupid question, but would that require playing all 8th notes or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
